50/419/.338 106 SBs with a .934 OPS as a hitter (162 game average 12/100 with 25 SBs). WAR of 23.4 as a batter. Besides pitching he played all three outfield positions, as well as a little at 1b and 2b.
His statistics in Hawaii from 1915 to 1918 were crazy. Playing mostly for the 25th Infantry he had a 35-2 record, 468 strikeouts in 355 innings, and an ERA well under 1.00. At the plate he hit .347 with 28 home runs, 61 stolen bases, and 153 runs scored in 125 games.
